| Notes |
- According to his nephew, Emmanuel Jarvis, son of John Albert Jarvis, William Jarvis and his wife's family, the Livernois, were quite wealthy. He lost his wealth with th help of his oldest son, Ralph Jarvis II, during the Deprssion. Ralph II used to run around in a Studs Bearcat in the good days.
The background on this branch of the family and her siblings was given by William Jarvis' daughter, Germaine Jarvis, who married Paul Mc Kelon and in the 1960's resided at 2711 Yupon, Houston, TX. Her information was transmitted to Patrick L. Tombeau on September 10, 1965.
A letter dated July 10, 1964 from the Detroit News indicates that Will Jarvis' Grocery store is found in the 1903 Detroit City Directory on Beech, from Fort w, south to Cedar, third east of MCCRR.
The Detroit City Directory has the following entries for William Jarvis:
Jarvis, William, teamster, bds 1419 Jefferson Av., 1893

(No entry for William in 1895)

Not clear whether there were further entries or I ceased to collect information on William.
Charles also stated that his brothers Will and John and their father Ralph helped clear Belle Isle (about 1894) with teams of horses. Will once caught a snake on the island and tied it to the basck of their wagon. Will also may have driven a team to cinder Grand Blvd. (Historical Note: prior to being called Belle Isle, the island was called from French times Ile aux Cochons, or Hog Island, because pigs were put on it to kill the snakes.)
Charles States that his brother's and sister were born in a one room log cabin across from the brick house on Ready Road in Berlin Twp., Monroe Co., MI., built by his father in 1881. But Charles was born in the brick house.
